Baby Book Post

A little about my baby that is about to be 2!!! M loves to be all dressed up. It's not enough to just be wearing a skirt she wants a full on dress. Then the puffier the better, so sometimes she wears a tu-tu underneath. Her favorite shoes are her fanciest black patten leather church shoes, but she wears them with anything, and sometimes even on the right feet. Some of her words include: shoes, pretty, boots, help, up, Mom, Dad, Thanks (deets), eye, you, teeth, bye, Bodie, Ya ya (Olivia), Pee pee (Sophie - She loves that), and she's stumped on Z. Most of the time she can be found carrying a dress asking for help to put it on. I hide the dress ups (am I mean?) so she can't change all day, but now she has found her sisters closets and wears anyone's dress. I am never buying pants again. She will not wear them saying "no pretty!!!!" It is kind of funny, but she has drawers full of clothes she won't wear. Where did this kid come from? Seriously could she get any girlier? S went through a skirt only phase, but I don't remember it being this bad.

All bundled up to go somewhere. I just took these because she was being so cute!
M still sucks her thumb, making her the greatest sleeper ever!!!! But her fondness for her thumb is making her little tooth stick out. She also is in love with her "bye" (blankie) she carries it almost everywhere. I've never had a blanket baby before. It is kind of cute, and it kind of makes me nervous. I wonder is she will still need it when she's 12?

M now asks for the radio to be on because she loves to dance, and it makes all the other sisters super hyper, which she also thinks is fun. She dances all the time. On my lap in a movie, with her musical toys, during church songs(?)anytime there is some sort of a beat. I had to drag her screaming out of O's dance class because she was loving dancing in the mirror. I am always glad she is moving because sometimes she is such a little couch potato, demanding to sit on my lap and watch "TT." I love the cuddles, but sometimes someone has to make dinner. Her new thing is saying it's cold and she needs to snuggle. She always gets really hyper at night and it is tempting to keep her up just for laughs, but she will sleep all the next day. Her very most favorite thing is her sisters. When we drop them off somewhere she cries and when they come home she is so happy. She loves it when they get her out of her crib in the morning too.
